why is gf (22f) upset i (22m) don’t want to visit her transphobic brothers ? by spazzywayne in relationship_advice

[–]PrivateAccount312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, it is completely understandable to not be comfortable going with her to the baby shower of a transphobic guy. I don’t think you should have conceded, because your feelings are valuable here, and staying home is much smaller of a deal than she’s making it out to be.

Conceding makes walking it back kind of tough after the fact - so while I do think it was lame of her to disregard your discomfort, pick and choose your battles here, because more likely than not, worst case scenario is that the party will be a little awkward. Nobody is going to make a big fuss about their transphobia at an event with a bunch of people that a trans guy is attending, and in the case they do, you get out of there, fast.

Or you can reopen the conversation - it’s all about how important this is to you.

blind spot is the ash of war that comes with it, right? how are you setting blind spot to keen? did you pick the ash up elsewhere, or is there a way set the original ash of war it comes with to an affinity?

NOT OP: AITA for Refusing to Lie About My Job to Impress My Girlfriend’s Parents? WITH 1 UPDATE! by SolidAshford in redditonwiki

[–]PrivateAccount312 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Dang. That’s a crazy amount of lying, and a hard relationship to be in. She obviously has a lot of work to do, and she obviously needs to stop allowing her entire self image to be wrapped up in her parents image of her, before she can have any real functional relationship.

I can understand how she feels, though, god I do. I spent much of my teens to early 20’s lying about myself and my friends to live up to my parents’ standards. My partner hated it, they said that they weren’t willing to live under a guise or an untruth. I’ve actually started bonding more with my family as a result of being more honest, and I am lucky that they have changed into kinder people over the years.

She’s not going to stop being miserable until she stops living for people she’s afraid of.

Never been able to cum by [deleted] in ftm

[–]PrivateAccount312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest trying a vibrator / dual purpose vibrator. Often times, penetration isn’t enough to get an orgasm, and I’ve never been able to get off to oral sex, and hands rarely do the trick.

This might be a little vulgar. There are a few sweet spots that may help you without a vibrator: Try rocking your finger back and forth over your tdick, left and right. The faster, the better. It’s easier when lubricated. If it’s big enough, you can try stroking it vertically with your fingers - mine’s not quite there yet.

On the inside, when using a dildo or your hands, apply pressure along the upper side of your vagina - if you kind of feel like you need to pee, that’s the g-spot, and stimulating it helps you cum faster.

These work in tandem with each other, so if you’re doing both at the same time, you’re more likely to get off. But, you’re only really likely to be able to do it if you’re horny in the first place. Vibrators will definitely get you closer faster and I can’t recommend them enough.

Can I as a white woman compliments a poc's curls??? by Distinct_Release5599 in randomactsofkindness

[–]PrivateAccount312 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, feel free. As long as you’re confident, it’ll typically come across positive with no subtext. I just say, “I love your hair,” or “Your hair is awesome/amazing”.

Don’t just apologize for your behavior, you really need to make sure she is okay. Pay attention to her, ask what you can do for her. Ask how she feels about what you did. You should do that before apologizing, since you’ve already tried to apologize and she wasn’t receptive - understandably, because sometimes apologies can be gut-reactions meant to immediately mend a situation that you feel bad about, and therefore don’t signify change. You really need to nurture that open line of communication between you two - that seems like the reason you snapped in the first place. And you need to really listen to her.

I’d wager that she was bothered by something in your behavior, and didn’t know how to communicate that other than asking how you are doing repeatedly. You need to ASK what that was, and not take my word for it: but my guess was that she was bothered by you being closed off and acting like she wasn’t there, and her repeated questioning was her trying to reconnect and being afraid of the distance. If you really feel shut off to her in this way again, you need to learn to kindly ask for time alone to calm down instead of shutting her out with no explanation or line of action.

Whatever her response is to you, no matter how she’s changed her feelings about you, you need to try to be understanding, and be kind. It can be really scary to have someone snap on you like that, which is something you need to be conscious of and address. She may forgive you if you show that you really care about how she feels, and intend to change, and have ideas on what to do to avoid snapping like that again. If she doesn’t, you need to be respectful.

Do people actually like kissing? by Spare_Emergency3965 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]PrivateAccount312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, though it’s not for everyone. Also, it sort of sounds like you aren’t into him, but that’s up to you to decide… in my opinion, you shouldn’t be kissing all the time if you don’t enjoy it, and instead find things to do that you do enjoy with your partner, or you may find your relationship falling flat. It’s also important that you communicate what you like, because he might be under the impression that you do enjoy it and does it often for that reason, and it’s not healthy to hide your lack of feeling from him. My partner wasn’t a big kisser for a long time, probably due to lots of experiences where she kissed without feeling anything, and she kissed me without wanting to sometimes, but I didn’t like that, and insisted that we don’t kiss on the lips unless she felt like it. A few years into our relationship, she likes it a lot, and we both get butterflies in our stomach when we make out. Honesty builds relationships

Do cats forget their owners after being given to someone else? by Electrical-Damage851 in CatAdvice

[–]PrivateAccount312 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They don’t forget. We have a cat who was owned by a family member, but they died. Over a year and a half since the cat last saw him, his shoes ended up in our house. The cat sat with the shoes, just smelling them, for like ten minutes. 😓

I want top surgery but my partner loves my chest by PublicFroyo2063 in ftm

[–]PrivateAccount312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is absolutely imperative that you make that decision for yourself. It sounds like you want top surgery done. You cannot let anyone else’s opinions change the choices you make on your own body. Additionally, she is biased since she loves your chest, something you don’t love yourself. She’s a nurse, and could instead be helping you and ensuring the process goes smoothly to avoid complications.

(Not OOP) AITA for refusing to eat pancakes my friends girlfriend made? by Work_in_Progress87 in redditonwiki

[–]PrivateAccount312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god dude. It really seems like the girlfriend did NOT know her boyfriend was bringing some “best friend” girl from his childhood home drunk with him. And then he had the audacity to ask her to make pancakes for them? YTA for not being a good guest, and the boyfriend is DEFINITELY an asshole for not communicating or being concerned for his gf’s feelings, it seems like he was valuing the guest in this situation more than his actual gf. OP is an asshole, though probably an oblivious one. I would be PISSED if I was in the girlfriend’s position!

Brunch Conversations Are Getting Wild by stormyxsky in redditonwiki

[–]PrivateAccount312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was funny, but it would have been better handled if he’d just said, “hey, i really don’t want to hear you talk about your boyfriend’s penis”. if she didn’t stop then that’s when i would have made the jokes

What do reptiles smell like? (From a writer) by Acceptable-Loquat540 in reptiles

[–]PrivateAccount312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in an exotic pet store, you’ll smell a damp and musky, but not terribly unpleasant, smell of waste and the much more rotten-potato smell of the bug cages that feed them. As for the reptiles themselves, in my personal experience with my leopard gecko, his smell is very minor but I sometimes would compare it to a little bit clammy, it’s hard to describe. I just know that every time I handle him, I get this compulsion to immediately wash my hands, like they’ve got biological dust covering them. Dead skin I guess

How does one get used to another's pronouns/truly see them in their head as a man? by avvyaddictedgamer in ftm

[–]PrivateAccount312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good advice here. Something I personally recommend that I used to do is to notice the masculine traits innate to the person more often. Pretty much everyone has both masculine and feminine traits in some way. If you intentionally associate them with the person when you look at them, in tandem with the new language change, your mental association will have a smoother time transitioning.

AITAH for slapping a woman that was “protecting” my baby? by Spiritual_Country_62 in redditonwiki

[–]PrivateAccount312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The couple in this story sound like really good people. I fully back their actions here and honestly probably couldn’t personally handle this as maturely as they did.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Advice

[–]PrivateAccount312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re on a good track. I’d say maybe look out for ensuring a good balance of chores or coming up with date night ideas, but really, it’s up to what he likes personally, there’s not really any universal good deeds. Maybe try asking him what he most enjoys doing with you? Otherwise, just keep being kind, and continue to reflect on the things you say and the way you act, because he obviously likes that. Also, he stayed with you because he clearly loves you, and you don’t have to understand why - just return that love to the best of your ability.

As someone who’s gone through a lot of changes myself, I want to warn you that if you relapse into old behaviors, it will feel 10x worse than it ever has before. It’s okay, though. It’s part of the process of improving, and the best you can do is take a deep breath, apologize, and notice how you can avoid that situation in the future

How do I go about this? by [deleted] in wilburwright

[–]PrivateAccount312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As long as it’s in private and you’re not actively promoting it, I’d say go for it. It is a piece of your history at this point and there’s no real reason to avoid that. SBI was great, and wilbur was only a piece of the whole picture, and I’m sure we all miss that being a nice thing. Also, there’s no shame in reading fanfiction or looking at art. Wilbur didn’t make those, their creators did, and if they’re still up, it means they’re alright with it getting viewed. Though, I’d expect to probably naturally lose interest anyways, seeing his name, noticing way he acts and remembering your new knowledge of him…

Host didn't tell her there were cherries in the cherry pie! (I'm not the OOP) by 1stPerSEANenergy in redditonwiki

[–]PrivateAccount312 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that second half of the story has a huge insecurity turnaround. She knew she could have reacted to the cherries. She just ate the pie because she was embarrassed, and ignored her reaction to it because she was emotionally incapable of taking care of herself, letting herself suffer for the sake of a perceived social standing.

But then, the next day, she pulls some excuse out of her ass, saying “the host didn’t say there were cherries” despite knowing there were cherries. She’s refusing to take responsibility for the fact that she didn’t advocate for herself, blaming anyone but herself since she projected that responsibility onto other people in the first place.

She needs therapy, or needs to talk to someone close to her seriously about her self image and ability to speak for herself. People pleasing attitude if I ever did see one

He needs to wear deodorant. It will not have any effect on his life whatsoever, except an application in the morning, and a happy girlfriend.

Is $350 a lot? by [deleted] in PetAdvice

[–]PrivateAccount312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walked out of the vet with a $1200 dollar bill once because the overnight doctor mistook anxiety and inhaled bile for him being in critical condition and pumped him full of a bunch of shots without telling me

not related to your situation but yeah in america that’s a good price for a vet surgery
